Good 5.1 albums?

[NickL]

i have those tool dvd's
epic waste of money
i think it was the parabola remix that i really digged though
lustmord did a fucking epic with that one, beautiful stuff, totally useless if you dont dig droney shit though
and yeah, no surround sound either

If I believed in God, his music would resemble something similar to Lustmord.

metallica - metallica (is fucking amazing)
the eagles - hotel california
miles davis - kind of blue
lamb of god - ashes of the wake (holy shit @ the drums)

This! (nice taste, btw!) Add to that Foreigner - Four

The absolute best 5.1 music mix I've heard (so far) is Ayreon's "Actual Fantasy: Revisited"! Listen to it in a dark room, possibly with the TV showing the animated lyrics. It really envelops the listener! Arjen's really made use of all the speakers properly.

Pink Floyd - Dark side Of The moon
Insane Clown Posse - the Wraith. They really use the extra channels and push the audio everywhere.

I was never that impressed with the 5.1 mix of Metallica. Sounds like the stereo mix with some of the verbs sent to the surrounds. the stereo sounded better in my opinion.

pretty sure btbam's new one is in 5.1 and from what my roommate said, it's amazing. I'll find out when I move in next month.

Dimmu Borgir "Death Cult Armageddon" DVD-Audio (already mentioned).
5.1 Surround is 24/48 lossless (MLP coding).
F... necrothread...

I agree that most metal loses a lot of oomph when put in surround sound
